Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Scampi

Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Scampi – A wonderful , easy pasta dish that tastes so much like one of Olive Garden’s long-time dishes…

This dish has been one of my favorites to make for a long time…in fact I’ve been making it since I first got to go to Olive Garden a loooong time ago. I loved it so much that I had to learn how to make it. This was back when I was first learning to cook and I don’t think Google was even around. I did find some recipes online for a shrimp scampi and I tweaked that one to create this one. As I’ve learned to cook, I’ve changed the way I make it, and now I bring you my favorite version of it.

The chicken is simply thin-cut chicken breasts cut into thirds. They are dunked in a little seasoned flour and pan-fried for a few minutes. I had to fight off the husband and kids to keep them from eating all the chicken before I could finish the whole meal!

The pasta is creamy and filled with so much flavor from the garlic and peppers. Your house will smell so good!

I am a wife to an awesome husband, mother of four great kids, and a former middle school math teacher. I love collecting recipes and cookbooks! I have an obsession with food network and all things Paula Deen (love her)! Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!

This is my husband’s FAVORITE dish of all time! It is probably for the best that the closest Olive Garden is 2 hours away. haha! If I go to the nearest town that has one for a shopping trip, he will beg me to bring this home. I am definitely going to have to give this a try for his upcoming birthday!

I am so excited to try this. I’ve been craving this dish, (and with 4 kids of my own) I thought “it would be cheaper if I make it at home!” My mouth’s watering already, and by looking at your picture (that is the thing I look at the most…does it LOOK like the real recipe) it sure looks identical.
